In July 1999, Chingangu had the most glorious moment of his career when he travelled to Germany and fought gloriously the unbeaten Wladimir Klitschko in Philips Halle, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Joe fought bravely and if it wasn’t for his wounded hand, he would have given the great Klitschko the ride of his money.
